Triple layer chocolate mousse

This one is worth sinning for! Eat it and go straight to heaven...Please do not be put off by the length of ingredients - it is actually quite simple, and if you do not want to make it in one go, you can freeze the mousse before making the next layer. Serve in either martini or fluted cups or tall glasses... (Yield really depends on the size of the cup you use, if using tall glasses, this recipe will make 4 - 6.)

INGREDIENTS

- White Mousse:

150 gram white chocolate

¼ cup milky whipping cream

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 eggs, separated

1 tsp caster sugar (fine sugar)

150 gram brown milk chocolate

¼ cup milky whipping cream

2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 eggs, separated

1 tsp caster sugar

- dark mousse:

150 gram bitter chocolate

¼ cup milky whipping cream

1 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened

2 eggs, sparated

1 tsp caster sugar

A note about serving containers... Tall glasses are perfect as they don't narrow towards the stem, however martini style glasses look very elegant, but use up less mousse on the bottom layer than the top. Use a pouring jug to pour mousse into glasses for perfect layers.

Also before you start each layer, Please make sure to check how much butter is needed as each layer uses a different amount and it is easy to look at the wrong layer...
